Обзор Android 16 could add a system-wide audio input switcher

• Android 16 may add a new section to the media switcher dialog that lets you change the audio input device for all apps.
• Currently, you can only change which audio device you want to use as your microphone within an app if the app even supports it.
• This feature doesn’t currently work in the latest Android beta, though, and it might be aimed at computers rather than phones.

Pretty much every Android phone has a built-in microphone so you can make voice calls, but the quality of that microphone can differ heavily between devices. Even the best built-in microphone you’ll find on a smartphone won’t cut it for professional audio recordings, which is where external mics come in. Unfortunately, some Android apps don’t let you record audio using an external mic, but Android 16 could change that by introducing a system-wide audio input switcher.
